Desiganting an extra garbage thread never worked...  I guess enthropy is against...

I would prefer garbage in this thread and non garbage in the other - it's probably a vain hope though :)

With H offering surrender in another thread, this one should be closed so we at least limit the garbage to 1 thread.

I believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade... And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.

GM Rikoo is like a bloody good referee who lets play continue on due to the advantage.

Good show old chap!

Everyone, keep your caps on. I will keep an eye out for anything that looks to be getting too heated, but as fast as these forums can move during a discussion like this, I can miss some things. You can report a post if it provides an issue, or better yet -- link the post to me in an IGM. You just click the little star or button at the top left on the post bar (the first icon to the right of the poster's name) and send me the link in IGM or to community@illyriad.co.uk. 

Report as well, but that can sometimes take a bit more time to sift through.

Other than that, I am not seeing any issues (yet) and, frankly, I like the fact that players feel so passionately about our game!

Is there any particular reason to want this locked, or are we just shutting down any thread people are posting in on principle?

Copy a little text from here. Paste in into http://www.acapela-group.com/ with English (UK) and Rosie selected. Then listen to what you have written.

@nvp:

What you're describing would turn Illyriad into some kind of tournament system, where major city destruction isn't a possibility. I think that horse has left the barn. There has been account annihilation in this war, and for better or worse, that's part of the Illyriad culture now. Obviously some have argued that annihilation has been part of prior wars as well, and this one simply had more of it.

It's the word "seriously" that draws my criticism. I've played Illyriad for 1.5 years, but it's still a video game. Yes, it's possible to spend money on this game, but if a player cannot bear the possibility of losing that tiny investment, I'd sincerely recommend not making it. Likewise with time. It's a game of kingdoms and armies, it has an element of risk. While you might wish to change the perceived level of risk, I'd question if that's possible in a sandbox game, even by mutual agreement. I have a sense that even if everyone agreed, such an accord would still be unenforceable against confederations of any meaningful size. I'd argue against further removing risks from a game, as it already has zero risk or consequences relative to the real world.
